Welcome to Kootenay National Park.
Steep cliffs tower directly above the hot pool, whose waters are colored a milky blue by
dissolved salts, which include calcium bicarbonate and sulfates of calcium, magnesium, and
sodium. The hot pool (39°C/97°F) is particularly stimulating in winter, when it's edged by
snow and covered in steam—your head is almost cold in the chill air, but your submerged
body melts into oblivion. Admission is adult $7.00 (or swim all day for $10), senior and
child $5.75 (day pass $9.55). Towel and locker rentals are available, as are spa services. If
you're camping at the park's Redstreak Campground, you can reach the complex on foot
along a forested trail.
